Viewer of the latest earthquakes in the world

Earthquake compilation conducted by EMSC in the last two weeks around the planet.

The tectonic plates are in continuous motion on the earth, causing their external areas to be in permanent collision with each other, releasing energy and producing earth tremors, what we call earthquakes. On the other hand, on the Earth's crust that we can observe, geological faults and volcanoes are the result of these forces on a larger scale, giving rise to these seismic movements. The collection of data from all over the world, such as those provided by the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, ends up drawing a world map of all the earthquakes that occur, obtaining a catalogue of the last two weeks with a magnitude greater than 4 degrees on the Richter scale. It shows us the most active areas at present and how the planet draws a series of lines that divide the earth's lithosphere into different plates.
